rickey jackson in hof?


tommy gun

Recommended Posts

i grew up in the 80's. i don't remember anything extra special about him. i know he was on a bad saints team in the 80's. he and swilling were a good lb tandem, and let's not forget mills. but the guy does not deserve the hof. phil simms or richard dent were far more deserving imo.

Was he any better than Sam Mills?

Jackson was a blitzing specialist OLB so his stats look flashier than Mills'.

128 Sacks (+8 unofficial) is almost 10 sacks a season for his career. He also has a sickening amount of FRs.

Stats aren't as good as LT but not too dissimilar overall. Clear HoF'er I think.

i'm sorry, but i disagree. when i think of relly gret lb's in the 80's, he is not on the list. carl banks, swilling, tippett, wilber marshall i think were all better. but who knows.

Well I was born in 86 so all I can go on is stats. The stats look good and he was a part of the famed Dome Patrol. I don't know anything about the other guys you mentioned.

    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
    • Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
